STEERING AWAY FROM DINNER DATES

Dinner Date Is Never The Only Option....

The most asked question for a few days now will be 'what are you doing on the 14th?' 
And the answer is never too different from going out for dinner. I'm sure dinner date will never go out of style, but, doing something different wouldn't really hurt right?! It doesn't necessarily mean that you need to rack your brains, wear your creative hat and get confused, it could be as simple as attending a cooking class together or going out on a road trip or just read my write up carefully and takes notes. 
Well, if you asked me, I'd suggest the latter.

The Adventurous Lot

If you fall within this ambit or just love to have different experiences, there are so many options around which you can plan your day. It ranges from rock climbing, fishing, paragliding, para sailing, trekking, snorkeling, zorbing, bungee jumping and so many other options. In-exhaustive indeed. Now these activities are not always easily accessible, or might be a little extreme for some, for those, there are various options available like go out on an amusement park/ theme park date (i mean Kanye West proposed Kim Kardashian in an amusement park, so it definitely isn't be a bad idea,) then, there is paintball, laser tag, miniature golf, etc.

 

Camping

This is for those of you having time on them, and believe me the experience would be amazing. All you need to do is do a little browsing online. There are many options ranging from the out-and-out camping sites to those providing camping experience the chic way. Make sure your partner is absolutely up for this, for it may not turn out to be a most perfect date idea for some.

But since not everyone has the luxury of time, for you guys there is the picnic date option. All you need is a beach side or a river side or a perfect mountain site, pack a light picnic lunch, may be some wine and you are sorted for the day. you can also add a little bike riding to your picnic provided the weather allows you to.

Spa Date

This is an absolute favorite of the ladies. In need of some brownie points, this should be your go to option. All you need to make sure is that you specify that you're looking for a couples spa, there must not be any partition between you two so that you both can enjoy it together and is not shady in the least. The different types of treatments available at a spa is astounding. Also, if you two have never been on a spa date, you must definitely go, on one this valentine's.

 

Game Night

The moment you read this I'm sure all you could think of were video games. But you needn't be a video game enthusiast to have such a date. You could start with board games, card games, play a little Jenga or scrabble and end your day with a karaoke competition. If you don't want to stay indoors you could try a bowling date. I'm not saying this is a very different idea of a date, but if you are one of those who always stick to dinner dates or coffee dates, then this is definitely a breath of fresh air. You could make your game night date more special by surprising your partner with a pillow fort or a cute indoor tent, may be some fairy lights and set the romantic mood.

  Relationship Time Capsule

For those having no idea about what a time capsule is, here's a gist, you store a few objects having significance to the present time in a container called the capsule and bury it in some place which can be opened in the future to get an idea of the time the capsule was made.

Now relationship time capsule is a tad bit different than the usual time capsule. You and your partner can store things which are significant to you guys in a capsule and bury it at a significant place like the place you first met or where you went on your first date or got married or honeymooned. It could be any place and the capsule could contain any item. All that you need to keep in mind is, it must be significant to you and your partner. Making a date out of this would be fun, adventurous and definitely out of the box. Rest assured for you'll be scoring great brownie points from your better half. 

If none of the above ideas seemed to have struck a chord with your romantic side, there are a few other options you could consider. There's beer tasting date, vineyard date, karaoke night, biking date, walk a dog date, concert date.

There are many alternatives available to make your date unique in some or the other way. Go and find your unique idea coz a successful relationship is all about falling in love many a times, with the same person.
